Earth Day Is April 22: Tap into the Powerful Potential of Energy Efficiency

April 11, 2008

Energy efficiency is one of the best ways for the Federal government to help America achieve a healthier economy, a cleaner environment, and greater energy security. It is the quickest, least expensive, and cleanest way to extend our energy supplies.

This year's Earth Day theme, Tap Into the Powerful Potential of Energy Efficiency, reinforces how each Federal employee can help reverse our nation's dependence on foreign oil and fossil fuels, while helping to protect our vital natural resources. Efficiency means more than the ability to achieve a desired result without wasted effort. With efficiency, we can achieve more productivity, savings, and security.
